    The Elephant In My Mind: Fear of Failure

    MINDSET 
    I've realised that besides my Fear of Failure (working on it), my biggest resistor is my family. I'm very close to my family and they are the most important thing to me in the world. But they are total Sidewalkers. They have zero understanding of entrepreneurship and just view it as 'risky'...

    Saw this in another thread. So relatable for me this past week (I'm climbing out the VoD).

    The Elephant In My Mind: Fear of Failure

    MINDSET 
    Made major mental progress past few days. Won't cover it all as a lot of it is sorting out my own head; not a worthwhile read for you behind this screen. You're time is more valuable than that! Recap: Basically I've been working on launching my first physical (custom) product whilst working...

    The Elephant In My Mind: Fear of Failure

    MINDSET 
    I've always known I felt Fear of Failure, but it never paralysed me like it is now. I've realised that my current problems are due to my Fear of Failure working in combo with my new appreciation for the limited & precious nature of my Time (Life) & a lack of belief in what I'm doing. This is...

    The Elephant In My Mind: Fear of Failure

    MINDSET 
    Spoke to someone in my life that is like a mentor to me. Has really helped bring me clarity. Here's my current understanding: You only have so much time. 168 hours/week. The first step is deciding what YOU prioritise in YOUR life. This allows you to systematically remove things from your life...

    I’ve been trying to run before I can walk. And I need to learn to crawl before walking.

    The Elephant In My Mind: Fear of Failure

    MINDSET 
    Thank you everybody for your supportive messages, it really means a lot to me. I’m working on ways to reframe my mind’s view of failure, and your advice has helped a lot. Some specific ways that are helping me are simply viewing ‘failure’ as learning xp that I’m banking. And just making most...

    The Elephant In My Mind: Fear of Failure

    MINDSET 
    I've become very self aware recently about what's going on in my mind. And I've finally realised the root cause of my problems. Fear of failure. This is immense for me. I've always known I feared failure throughout my formal education, but as I began my first product venture after graduating...

    Post FTE: Self Awareness, Belief System Shifts, Learning & Doing

    MINDSET FTE EXECUTION 
    Ok so since writing this earlier I've stepped back and made a critical realisation. I've made so much mental progress about becoming the best version of myself so I can maximise my success potential. And this is great. I've genuinely never been this hard working & disciplined in my whole life...

    Post FTE: Self Awareness, Belief System Shifts, Learning & Doing

    MINDSET FTE EXECUTION 
    Appreciate the advice. Think some of it applies to me and some not. Like I’ve already gone from being overweight to the best shape of my life in these 8 months. And my discipline & organisation is through the roof. I’m actually quite good at ‘acting’ when it comes to communicating with others...

    Post FTE: Self Awareness, Belief System Shifts, Learning & Doing

    MINDSET FTE EXECUTION 
    It's been a few weeks since I went through the worst emotional experience of my life so far. Since then, I have relentlessly been digging into my mind to uncover the deficiencies that lay within. And it's working. Background: I graduated university 8 months ago and have been working a part...

    What if you already know enough?

    NOTABLE! 
    I fell into the 'Pitfall of Doing' recently with my first venture. Realised I knew nowhere near enough about Sourcing & Importing products than I need to. Almost led to me getting majorly burnt financially + caused what I'm labelling as my FTE due to massive fear of failure. Decided to hit...

    Conscientiousness and fixing your business personality

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Mate. Thank you. I can't tell you how amazing this was for me to read. The past couple weeks have been a mental implosion for me after a major FTE, and I've been uncovering my own mental deficiencies. And this has aligned with everything I've uncovered so far. Despite being mainly 'a Cautious'...

    My Process Reflective Log 2024+

    MINDSET FTE EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Yes, I'm doing more research to address these issues. I said earlier in the thread I still believe in the product and brand. @amp0193 gave me advice related to pricing which brought me some clarity when I was still in mental panic mode. I know this thread is a shitshow that reflects my mental...

    My Process Reflective Log 2024+

    MINDSET FTE EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    I really appreciate your responses @circleme. Here is my perspective: I've been 'doing' for the last 4 months. I've been doing the need finding, market research, manufacturer finding, sample ordering, etc. There's no way for me to prove this other than saying some specifics that might...
